Salesforce.com Spring '07 Launch

Salesforce has announced Monday, March 19, 2007, as the global launch of the Spring '07 release.

Marc Benioff and company will launch the 22nd release at an event at the Landmark Hotel in London. More details are available in this PDF regarding partner sponsorships.

This "Polite Notice" from the PDF caught my eye:

Due to feedback from our Partner sponsors at prior events, we ask that if you plan to attend a Salesforce event to take advantage of the valuable networking and lead generation opportunities, you attend as an official sponsor. Partners who do not sponsor are permitted to attend to benefit from the educational opportunities, but should not use this as a platform for business development. If you wish to discuss this further please contact us.

Vote for the Spring '07 Release Logo

Nevermind that it's only 10 degrees(F) here in New Jersey today, Salesforce has posted the possible Spring '07 release logos on the IdeaExchange for your consideration.

I'm voting for the wheelbarrow -- just to see how they fit it into the media kit.
